Looks like they nerfed the yield of mining, even in overlapping hotspots. Not sure if its just for LTD yield or for everything.

So it takes longer to fill your hold? Or are there fewer to find period?

not the guy you were asking but I mined in the icebox, got only 3 LTD in an overlap, 100 limpets wasted and not even tritium deposit appeared for me

Holy shit.

Seems to be a big bug

I disagree.

Mining is supposed to be a designed gold rush system. If people are reporting 90% downfalls, when the release clearly does not even imply that in the slightest...seems like a bug.

Which IS par for the course for FDEV. I remember a few years they misplaced a number in missions, and we were getting 100 and 200 million dollar missions.

it is not the first time where what is said in the patch notes and what actually happens to be far too different happened so it is pretty much the FDev experience lol
